Question
I want to link the totals of certain columns of several worksheets to a
summary worksheet in the same workbook. Just typing the = sign and going back to the spreadsheet and hitting enter is not working

Answer
What do you need to do exactly?  Link one cell at a time, or sum all of them?  The procedure you describe would work for the first case, while for the second you could do something like:
=SUM(Sheet1:Sheet5!A1)
This will add the values on cell A1 for all the sheets between Sheet1 and Sheet5.

If this is not what you are looking for, please send more details.

Hope this helps,
Miguel
